Bloodline spoiler:

If KMT were related to Carise, it would also set up a really nice parallel between FinnTran and Reylo. Finn can't give Rey too much grief about being in a possible relationship with Kylo if Finn himself has been snogging the daughter (or other relation) to Lady Carise.

Imagine a scene in IX where Rey and Finn arguing about each other's LIs, before calling each other out on the hypocrisy, then realising their own hypocrisy before making up with each other. But regardless, while it's such an awesome idea, I doubt it will be the case, because KMT was cast colourblind and Claudia Gray said she wrote Sindian with her ethic origin being Asian. So all in all it's probably just a coincidence that they're both Asian. But then again.... KMT was cast before TFA was released and we know that Rian Johnson had some input in Bloodline. What if he told Claudia that Episode VIII's female lead was related to Sindian and told her to give her the same ethnicity as the new lead's actress? Was Sindian's ethnicity in the book or did Claudia say she was Asian after it came out?

Imagine if at some point, Rey gets caught by the FO and is brought to Snoke, and Finn is still a FO prisoner at that point, Kylo gets desperate and goes to the Resistance to get help to save Rey. He meets Tran, she wants to save Finn at the same time, so they team up.

I'm sorry, but those two would have like the most awesome weird friendship ever? Like it's totes toll and smol here?

Actually when I first heard about KMT coming onboard I got a crazy scenario in my head about KMT's character being Kylo's fearless, unimpressed and quick-witted personal assistant. Like some crazy mix of young, but competent (like Julia Stiles' character in The Bourne Identity, take no sith and a smart mouth (like Julia Roberts' Erin Brockavich to Albert Finney's Ed), knows-everything-about-everything (like Joan on Mad Men, but with a kind heart and great tech skills (like the computer goddess woman on Criminal Minds.

I thought up another crazy scenario when the rumors about KMT being a spy came around. I envisioned that KMT would eventually turn on the FO because she loved Poe, but that at some point in Episode IX she would get a chance to meet up with a now defected Kylo ... and he would remember her and that they would commiserate about the corporate politics of the FO, with Kylo saying, "I remember you coming up. You were good. I was so annoyed when Hux snatched you for his team. I knew he wouldn't train you correctly. KMT: Thank you saying that! I knew he was an idiot (Kylo nodding in agreement) How did he even get that job? Kylo: Oh you mean how he was a 30 year old general with no battle experience? I'll give you one word: Family."

In all seriousness, I actually really hope that we see AD and KMT interact in a lighter moment. He is so good with the dry comedy.

I can't add anything to this poll, but I was thinking of doing a second poll while news is a bit slow here. Kylo flying the Falcon is definitely a headcanon favorite of mine--I will make sure to include it!

This is my first time seeing this poll and I've got to say all the poll suggestions still hold up really well. Except maybe the Leia and Kylo reunion. I’m still shocked by Carrie Fisher’s passing. It’s sort of crazy that we still don't have any definitive answers to any of these. The lid is screwed on pretty tight with spoilers for TLJ.

I'm gonna level with y'all. I've got a nice bottle of champagne that I've been holding onto for a while. If we get any form of reylo kiss I'll be popping that bad boy when I get home from the theater. If we get shirtless Kylo or Rey caressing his scar that is just icing on my proverbial reylo cake.

I really hope I’m in the theater with some antis because if that kiss does come I’d love to see them exiting the theater mid movie. However, I might be too busy swooning from the mere excitement of it all too even notice.

I'm glad that I am not the only one who's thought of anti reaction in the theater, lol! I keep imagining a smattering of "boos" and me having to drown them out with loud cheers, lol. But I think that I might be too close to internet fandom on that. I think that they will do it in such a way that either people will be blown away or people will be flat out happy about it, even if they started off not wanting it.

I'm not predicting it will happen 100%, but I am needing that Reylo kiss (vision, real time, accidental or otherwise) with all my being!!!! Seriously, I'll melt right there in my seat! Anti-meltdowns aren't the primary reason I am hoping for this, but I consider that a well deserved bonus for every person here...

I use to be heavily in the Spider-man fandom back when Toby Maguire was still Spidey (god that feels like a million years ago) and at the mid-night showing for Spider-Man 3 a guy got up and yelled at the screen some serious profanity when Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) kissed Harry (James Franco). He flipped off the screen and left the theater. It was sort of hilarious. The movie was terrible so I don’t hold it against him, but it was a little much. So yeah we “might” get a few boos at the early showings, but if they do the buildup right I can see the payoff being “I am you’re father” leaves of blown away. People love a good romance especially ones that lean towards tragic or star-crossed.

@IoJoviYes, it will be well deserved. Can you imagine what this forum and tumblr will look like? So much celebration and relief.

Yes! I was pleasantly surprised at how well our various predictions seem to be holding up. Granted, I did post the original poll right after the Ireland shoot ended, and if we're being fair, outside of the teaser trailer/teaser poster, we haven't gotten a whole lot spoiler-wise since then.

Given that I know sometimes we get a bit down about things, I thought that this poll was a bit of a confidence booster in showing how well on-track we've been (at least with the rumblings we've heard)...even back a year ago. There's a second poll with some more options (e.g. "Kylo flies the Falcon!") that I'll bump up at some point.

And as far as Shirtless! Kylo goes, I think that's pretty much a given at this point, given the Captain America Finn and the rumors that Kylo's first shot is of him on a medical table being tended to by a droid.

Leia-Kylo reunionKylo tries to kill ReyKylo attacks Rey but does not want to kill her (I hope for this one, but it might be the one above it)Unhinged! Luke (or semi-dark Luke)

I would be astonished if Rey and Kylo kissed in TLJ. I could easily imagine increasing sexual tension between them that doesn't brim over until episode IX in some form. And I think I'd really like the dynamic where Rey is fierce and unrelenting, and Kylo is trying to figure out how to reach her.

I should have voted for shirtless Kylo too as that might happen since he has to heal from his injuries. Also I would kind of like the parallel between Luke and Kylo here. Each start out the second trilogy episode with a bacta tank in their immediate future (needing to heal from being maimed).

Option not on this poll, just like the rise of the New Jedi, the rise of the New Disgruntled Fans. Who complain about the ST the same way many fans complain about the PT. Bonus if a big part of why they're disgruntled has to do with my wish list option, Crazy or Dark Luke. Although I'm guessing that they are doing Dark Luke, just that it's Ben's story line.

Yeah, I'm thinking of doing a new poll to incorporate the bits of new info that we've gottten since the last round of polls....also, including some of the choices from the last round, just to track how our opinions have stayed the same or changed.

Good thinking! Both pairings (Han and Leia & Anakin and Padme) had more than one kiss in their respective second installments. Although this time around I'd say that these might end up being split with Finn and Rose.

Even if we get one single Reylo kiss, vision or otherwise, I'll be jumping for joy...

I think that the FinnRose kiss is a relatively safe bet at some point in TLJ. The question is will we get any sort of kiss (vision/dream Reylo kiss? Space Horse kiss) in that 40-50 minute window like ESB and AoTC had!

Considering that there are three kisses in the second movie of a trilogy... my guess is that Finn and Rose are going to get two, and Rey and Kylo one. I'm hoping for theirs to be at the movie's climax, lol.

I'm not wholly convinced we'll ever see a Reylo kiss or act of affection. It might be entirely implied or left for after the end of IX. It might be that they just leave together at the end. Or Kylo dies and the last scene is Rey asking for pickles and ice cream.

I predict there will be two, possibly three Reylo kisses in TLJ. I see the first kiss being completely unplanned and in the heat of the moment.

In my head canon, Kylo is kept prisoner inside a hut when it happens. Rey has been told by Luke not to speak to him. But in the night, she visits him because she is curious. They have a private conversation that is actually quite civil. Kylo and Rey seem to truly understand one another, and she finds herself drawing closer and closer to him. Then, out of nowhere, she kisses him. They're both shocked, but neither pulls away... then the hut explodes.

Actually I have very similar trashy head canon. Rey as being very forgivable is bringing Kylo food while he is imprisoned in a hut.Of course, Rey is doing it behind uncle/master Luke's back. The scenery is very intimate, because it's night and the only source of light is some kind of space candle. A lots of shadows everywhere. She tries to speak to him and urge him to eat. Kylo is a complete wreck of his only guilty and possibly fear of Snoke for yet another failure (being caught by Luke and Rey).Yet, the Solo blood still boils, an despite the fact he killed Han in reality, he's unable to kill Han in himself. He tries to pull some of Han's pick ups but in his hilarious dark side way. The atmosphere is very tense with lots of UST. Rey is confused but not afraid any more. She tries to use all of light side tricks: compassion and patience - that's why the seduction goes both ways. They're both tempted.At this point, I don't think that the kiss would happen, rather an almost kiss scenario, in the very moment when angry Luke appears.***BOOOOOOM***
